EXHIBITION PREVIEW | NPE 2018
Right: New from PSI is the ILF-55 in line filtration system
existing pelletiser systems. For some products, the increased throughput achievable with the new design makes it possible to invest in a smaller pelletiser, saving costs. �

PSI-Polymer Systems will launch its ILF-55 in-line filtration system, a discontinuous, high capacity filter that is intended for long batch production runs where the extrusion process cannot be disturbed and where uncompromised ultra-high filtration levels must be continuously maintained. ILF filters are typically used where
Below: PSI will introduce its Vessel Gear Pump for throughputs of up to 9,000 kg/h
screen changers are either too large for the application or otherwise cannot satisfy the filtration level requirement without incurring an unacceptable pressure drop. They feature a canister housing into which the filter pod assemblies are inserted. Vessel size and filtration media are selected to minimise pressure drop for optimal flow and run time. ILF vessels can be fixed in-line or interchange- able and are supplied with three or seven filter tubes. The interchangeable vessel option accom- modates quick changeovers. Polymers typically processed include ABS, cellulose, EVA, HMA, PE, PE-X, PET, PETG, PA, PP and PS. The company will also introduce its Vessel Gear
Pump (VGP), intended for use beneath polymer reactor/devolatilisation vessels or after large twin screw compounding extruders to discharge a steady volumetric output direct to the pelletiser. VGP series models are available for rates to 20,000
lbs/h (9,072 kg/h). The high efficiency pumps generate high discharge pressures while accommodating low-pressure infeed of high and low viscosity materials. �

RTP Company will showcase product samples and an assortment of real- world applications created from its engineered thermoplastics, with carbon fibre reinforced, high temperature resistant and abrasion resistant grades topping the list. The Carbon Fiber Compounds
products are lighter, stiffer, and stronger than glass-filled alternatives, providing a lightweight alternative to both metal and glass reinforced plastic materials without sacrificing strength or perfor- mance. Its High Temperature Solutions family offers improved performance at elevated temperatures, including
retention of physical properties, chemical
resistance, and dimensional stability for autoclav- ing, reflow soldering and high continuous use applications. The Abrasion Resistant Alloys line is said to offer
abrasion resistance comparable to UHMWPE but in an injection molding grade. Abrasion Resistant Alloys can be supplied with different secondary additive combinations to provide additional functionality such as wear and friction resistance, flame retardancy, and conductivity. �

SABIC will display its Thermocomp AM family of eight high-performance materials designed for large format additive manufacturing applications. Reinforced with carbon or glass fibre, the new compounds are based on four amorphous resins - ABS, PPE, PC and PEI – and are intended for demanding applications in the tooling, aerospace, automotive and defence industries. The company will also show its Noryl glass-rein-
forced polyphenylene ether (PPE) resin for building and construction applications, Flowpact PP copolymer range for packaging production, and Lexan CXT high-clarity, high-PC copolymer for injection moulding applications. �
